We have held our HIFICRITIC magazine prices for five years despite numerous inflationary factors. From the 1st of January 2020 we are increasing our prices. We are also adding four more pages of editorial and review. The new prices, postage included are as follows: Single issue UK £20 (was £17) Single issue EU £23 (was £20) Single issue USA and Rest of the World £24 (was £22) One year, four issue Subscription UK £75 (was £65) One year, four issue Subscription EU £85 (was £76) One Year four issue Subscription USA and Rest of the World £90 (was £80) We will make the usual requests for subscription top-ups as the PayPal database entry is your contract with PayPal, not with HIFICRITIC and thus we cannot update it. Many thanks for your support. |

It seems to get bigger every year and this time I was determined to be a little selective even with the danger of overlooking something of particular interest. The layout is something of a maze and despite maps and extensive signage it is easy on more than one occasion to end up at the same place. That is not so bad, as more often than not you then find something interesting that you would otherwise have missed.

The new issue sees the inestimable Paul Messenger leaving HIFICRITIC after some twelve years of valued effort. We wish him well and I am sure that more copy will emerge from his pen. I will take over as Editor-in-Chief having completed a heavy and extended workload comprising the rewrite of my near 700 page textbook, High Performance Loudspeakers, 7th edition for John Wiley. I will now be joined at HIFICRITIC by Andrew Everard, appointed Senior Contributing Editor, who has already distinguished himself in these pages. The new issue is available here. Preview by Martin Colloms. Review to be published in the January to March 2019 Issue Our review, to be published 20th February 2019, comprises three pickup cartridges of low output moving coil technology and one moving vane optical from DS Audio. With the light powered DS002, we have the Audio Technica AT-ART1000 ‘direct coil’, the LINN KRYSTAL ‘skeletal’ moving coil, and the Rega Aphelion ‘skeletal’ moving coil, all benchmarked against the magazine's resident Lyra Delos. In a marathon session Colloms and Bryant carried out extended comparisons for these five cartridges.

10-11 November 2018, Windsor: The Beaumont Centre Held on the 10th and 11th, the latter day was unfortunate in view of the many Remembrance events on this particular Sunday. My Saturday visit was eventful including a rainstorm with some site flooding belying the stock photo above, but finding many popular exhibits from leading brands, though as an exception missing Naim and Focal. They had put in a strong appearance at the recent September Festival of Sound, the London show, in September. Note that the Hi Fi News show will be rebranded for next year and will move venue to Ascot Racecourse.
Novotel Hammersmith, London: 28-30 September 2018 Predictably quiet on a weekday morning it was a breeze getting round the show on the Friday first day. I wanted to catch up with audio industry members, see and book new products and discuss findings for published reviews in HIFICRITIC.
